"We need to get away from here. I know it's hard, but you have got to trust me."
"I can't do this." Rowan whispers, voice cracking as she buries her face in his shirt, trembling as her hands clutch the fabric "If I'm not human, then what does that mean.. Is there no place in the world for us.."

"I can't do this. If I'm not human, then what does that mean.. Is there no place in the world for us.."
"You have a place in the world, as do I, and everyone else. Some of them just belong underground, and that's why you're here. To help bury those that are infecting life as we know it," Zale murmurs, unmoving before his arms gently wrap around her more to comfort her than anything. "Shit happens, and unfortunately for some of us, we're in the middle of it. But you can do this. I know you can."

"How am I supposed to be a prophet for a horseman... And you, you're my guide?" Rowan whispers, voice slipping as she hides her face completely, tears slipping out, leaning into him "I don't understand what our purpose is.."

"How am I supposed to be a prophet for a horseman... And you, you're my guide? I don't understand what our purpose is.."
"That makes two of us," he replies lowly. "But I'm sure we'll figure it out. First," he pulls back and carefully takes her hand, "we need to leave before something dark wakes up down there."

Eyes trained on his hand, she slowly looks up at him, gaze wavering "What if I fall into chaos.."

"What if I fall into chaos.."
He starts walking, gently pulling her behind him. "Then that means I failed the task I was given."

"Then that means I failed the task I was given."
"Why is it your responsibility? You don't have to stay... You could leave if you truly wished..." Rowan whispers, voice barely audible, hand clutching his tightly despite her words

"Why is it your responsibility? You don't have to stay... You could leave if you truly wished..."
"If I did that, then I would be breaking a promise I made a long time ago to someone," is all he responds with. "And I'm not one to break a promise."

"What promise did you make?" Rowan asks quietly, following him along like a lost little kid, gaze dull

"What promise did you make?"
His hand tightens a little as he recalls it. "I told someone I would do whatever it took to end the suffering they went through so no one else would have to suffer like that again. I promised that I would have my revenge, and if it means embracing this cursed fate that seems to have blown up in my face, then so be it." His voice lowered, though the poisoned tone still lingers. "My brother and I are more than willing to give up whatever we have to in order to send the damn demons back through the gates of hell they clamoured out of. And I won't stop until that happens."

"I'm sorry." Rowan whispers, hand tightening in his as she pulls him to a stop, gaze wavering "Stranger... What is your name?"

"I'm sorry. Stranger... What is your name?"
Zale stops, though his pale gaze remains forward, his jaw working a moment. He is getting to emotional, and he remembers his brother's warnings about that. Carefully, methodically, he takes a deep breath before he replies. "Zale."

"Zale."
"Are we going to see him?" Rowan murmurs quietly, releasing his hand when she feels him stiffen briefly, arm falling back to her side, looks away slowly, distant "Your brother?"

"Are we going to see him? Your brother?"
"It seems like the best course of action," he murmurs. "I didn't expect to get as far as I have. I was expecting you to not believe me. However, going to him requires us to go outside the gates, and out there things like to prowl about." He slowly looks at her. "Are you willing to come with me?"

"I don't want to die here.." Rowan whispers quietly, stepping towards him before stopping, green eyes trained on the ground, strands of hair falling in her face "Are you going to break your promise like he did?"
